Connecticut Counties Unclaimed Money

Connecticut has eight counties. All unclaimed property is managed at the state level by the Office of the State Treasurer through the CT Big List database. Connecticut abolished county governments in 1960, so residents in all eight counties use the same centralized system to search for and claim unclaimed funds.

About Connecticut Unclaimed Property

The Connecticut Office of the State Treasurer holds more than one billion dollars in unclaimed funds. This money comes from inactive bank accounts, uncashed checks, utility deposits, insurance proceeds, stocks, bonds, and other sources. The state receives new property every year from businesses and financial institutions.

There is no time limit to claim your property. The state serves as custodian until the rightful owner or heir comes forward. Searching and claiming is always free through the official CT Big List website.
